Finding burial records in Lack Township
- Death records. Pennsylvania has issued death certificates statewide since 1906. For deaths in Lack Township from 1906 on, certificates at least 50 years old are at the Pennsylvania State Archives and newer ones at the Pennsylvania Department of Health's Division of Vital Records in New Castle. For 1893 to 1906, check the Juniata County courthouse, usually the Register of Wills.
- Cemetery records. Ask the cemetery's office or the church that runs it for burial and lot records. Many cemeteries are run by churches or cemetery associations; the Lack Township municipal office may know who cares for small or abandoned burial grounds.
- Church and newspaper records. Before 1906 there is often no official death record, so church burial registers, local newspapers and the State Library of Pennsylvania are key sources for Lack Township families.
